Hi guys,
New to sw tanks and all of this jazz. Trying to take in all that I can and loving the podcasts.
So I live in an area that has a high arsenic level in the water. The city does filter and most homes have ro/di systems installed at construction. However mine does not. So im looking at getting a system.
My question is this. So these RO/DI filters are rated at gallons per day (GPD) but in the podcast about RO/DI he says a 100gpd filter produces about 20 gallons per day actual water. How exactly do you guys fill up large tanks like that? Ive gotten a 55g tank, and am thinking that its going to take about 3 days to fill it? im thinking the best method would be to get a 55g trashcan and fill that before I fill my tank for the first time, after that water changes wont be a big deal but the initial fill seems like a pain.
One more question. after my initial fill, if I fill the trash can again and have it available for water changes, how long will the ro/di water sit? should I mix the salt water into the 55g trash can for my first fill or do it in smaller doses? Can I mix the salt water in the 55g trashcan and store it?
Thanks guys
